Caution: Google Chrome browser incompatible with Y360

I tried using Google Chrome as my web browser and it messed up my blog when I would attempt to edit anything. So badly that when editing any of my Y360 pages it would delete ALL content of my page when I would go to save it.

Additionally, none of the formatting tools were available for editing blog pages.

My recommendation: Don't use Google Chrome web browser with Y360

Also, when uninstalling Google Chrome it corrupts your firewall and Yahoo Messenger so that Yahoo Messenger no longer works, and you can no longer upload Yahoo Messenger.

I've done a system restore but as yet I can not reload Yahoo Messenger.

I've contacted Yahoo and Google detailing this problem.

Making Yahoo Task list Useful
The following was submitted to Yahoo and Google to provide a basic Project Management tracking utility for everyone:
==========

Open Yahoo Mail, select Calendar tab, select Tasks sub-tab

Ever wonder why users don't use the Yahoo Task Management system? The more people that use the system, the more people see the related advertising; the more businesses pay Yahoo for advertising.

The Task lists indicate EXACTLY what a person wants. So Yahoo advertising can be EXTREMELY focused. The word Birthday should immediately relate to Gifts, cake, and other birthday related advertising. By adding a ToDo subcategory to a Task event, the user lists EXACTLY what they want to purchase.

Ethically, the person is wanting to find the related items, so this is an assistant function.

Under Calendar - Tasks, please add another column called "ToDo" after the existing column called "Task".
This way users can break apart all of their ToDo items into usable detailed lists to accomplish individual Tasks.

Currently, throwing all the ToDo's in our lives into one major list is not too useful from a planning point of view. Each Task has a list of ToDo's that need to be thought of separately. The present Task system is not usable for that reason.

The existing task with a due date would appear on the Calendar. Clicking on the related Calendar Task in the month, week, or day view would bring up all of the related ToDo items in a sidebar (along with related Advertising).

The easy fix:

Add another column to the Task list:
The existing columns:
Priority ....Task .... Done .... Due Date

Becomes:
Priority ....Task .... ToDo .... Done .... Due Date

This way all of the existing data from users is unaffected.

This provides the user the ability to list ToDo items, based upon a higher level Task.

Use a pull-down menu for Task items (eliminates typing errors). Incorporate a Textbox with a button labeled "Add new Task".

For instance:

Task: Advertise for Tenant . . . . ToDo: Sign out on roadway
Task: Advertise for Tenant . . . . ToDo: Check for prices in newspapers
Task: Advertise for Tenant . . . . ToDo: Check for cost of radio
Task: Advertise for Tenant . . . . ToDo: Make an ad, 45 letters
Task: Terry's Birthday . . . . ToDo: Invitation List
Task: Terry's Birthday . . . . ToDo: Party Favors
Task: Terry's Birthday . . . . ToDo: Find the movie Weird Science
Task: Terry's Birthday . . . . ToDo: Pick up birthday cake

Think of all the keywords listed above that directly relate to EXACTLY what the user wants to purchase, by a Due Date !!!!



The next thing to create is the Calendar event sidebar with advertising:

Make any "Task" with a "Due Date" visible on the Calendar

Link ALL of the ToDo items with the same Task name

Clicking on any Calendar Event lists all linked ToDo items in the sidebar

Based upon the keywords in the sidebar, Advertisers list their products adjacent to the ToDo sidebar.

A link is provided in the sidebar for any Advertiser that wants to list their products in that section.


The next step if further development is desired:

Allow users to archive lists of ToDo's for future use. So that every time there is a birthday, they can quickly populate their Task with a ToDo template. This way users become accustomed to relying upon the Yahoo Task lists.

Checkbox: Archive this Task (immediately shows up in Task Archive)
Any ToDo created with the same Task name is automatically appended to the ToDo list for that Task in the Archive.
Any Archived ToDo must intentionally be deleted from the Archived template.
Include a Task follow-up question for Archived Tasks after the Due Date: "Next time, what ToDo's would you also include in planning for this Task?" .... Add Another?

Alternatively, the existing column list could look something like:

Task: Advertise for Tenant
. . . . ToDo: Sign out on roadway
. . . . ToDo: Check for prices in newspapers
. . . . ToDo: Check for cost of radio
. . . . ToDo: Make an ad, 45 letters

Task: Terry's Birthday
. . . . ToDo: Invitation List
. . . . ToDo: Party Favors
. . . . ToDo: Find the movie Weird Science
. . . . ToDo: Pick up birthday cake

By making the Task System more useful and user friendly, users will come to rely upon the system for planning their lives. Thus also providing uniquely precise advertising for each user.

HR 676 - Congress Proposal to open Medicare to Everyone

Contact your Congressman (below) to voice your desire for Medicare to be available to EVERYONE; you pay for it, why shouldn't you have it to use if you need it?

I've NOT seen anything in the newspapers, on TV, or heard anything on the radio. I found out about this through a physician that is lobbying for health care reform. Insurance companies will be lobbying against this, we the People must lobby our Representatives to make sure they understand our position on health care reform. Open Medicare for EVERYONE's benefit.

Physicians for healthcare reform:
http://www.pnhp.org/publications/the_nat...

The people not covered by Medicare are 18 to 65, the lowest health risk group that also pays for all of Medicare. In the last 30 years I've only seen a doctor once. Yet I pay for medicare continuously.

Given that BlueCross/BlueShield provides supplemental health to cover everything that Medicare doesn't cover for about $100 a month, why wouldn't we want Medicare as our National Healthcare?

Contact all your Representatives to support H.R. 676
